WAXED PAPER AND PROCESS OF MAKING THE SAME Filed Nov. 4, 1929 Patented Mar. 7, 1933 mam PATENT oFFIca GEORGE LOVATT, OF HOLLISTON, MASSACHUSETTS WAXED PAPER AND PROCESS OF MAKING- THE SAME Application filed November 4, 1929. Serial No. 404,793.

The invention has relation to waxed paper and particularly to waxed pa er used for I wrapping purposes, an object eing to provide such a paper wherein the white. creases usually formed in the paper when folding the same about an articlein packaging the same will not show, thereby making the package present a fresher appearance. Another object is to provide such a paper which will give a better sealing efiect. Another object is to provide such a paperwhich will be comparatively inexpensive to manufacture and at the same time eliminate the white creases or crumpled appearance as stated. Another object is to provide such a'paper which can be printed more heavily and pre-' sent a more artistic appearance. Another object is to enable multicolor printing to be accomplished more economically. Another object is to provide an artistic embossed waxed paper.

The invention also consists in the process or method of producing such a'paper.

The invention consists in. the article of manufacture and the associated steps for producing the same as hereinafter 'set forth in theclaims.

In the accompanying drawing illustrating the invention,

Figure 1 is an edge view of the paper before being treated.

Fig. 2 1s a similar view of the paper after being embossed.

Fig. 3 1s a similar view of the Paper after being embossed and waxed.

Fig. 4 is a face view of the paper showing the design.

In the drawin the numeral 1 designates a paper sheet whic is first embossed as shown at 2, with any suitable design, which will accomplish the result stated, the design shown being an alligator skin efiect, which simulates wrinkles in the paper, the embossed paper being then provided with a coating of 5 wax 3, in the usual manner.

This paper first embossed as stated and then waxed will not show the creases formed in folding the paper sheet about an article in packa ing the same, whereby the package presents a fresher appearance.

It is found in practice that the embossing holds more of the wax in the crevices, thereby giving a better'sealing effect in packaging an article.

It is also found in ractice that the paper so embossed takes in better owing to the crevices in the embossing, thereby enabling more artistic and heavier rinting to be accomplished Without the 0 set which is now obtained in printing the plain waxed papers. 59

In multicolor printing it is found that the design embossed on the paper has the effect of one printing in white, thereby eliminating the White printing and making the process less expensive. l i

The waxed paper may, of course, be made in sheets, rolls or other forms.

I claim: a

1. A method of making "food wrappers consisting in first embossing the paper with a design and then providing the embossed paper with a coating of wax.

2. A method of making food wrappers consisting in first embossing the entire surface of the paper with a design of a wrinkley nature so'as not to affect or reduce the dimensions of the paper, and then providing the embossed paper with a coating of wax.

3. A method of making food wrappers consisting in first embossing the paper with 8! a design of a wrinkley nature, second printin the embossed paper with a design, and third providing the embossed and printed paper with a coating of wax.

4. food wrapping paper having a predetermined design embossed thereon, and a coating of uncrushed wax over the embossed paper.

' 5. A food wrapping paper having a predetermined desi embossed thereon, a design 96 printed upon t e embossed paper, and acoating of uncru'shed wax over the embossed and printed paper.

In testimony whereof I aflix my si ature.
